| it's not that hard. just use genkernel, mild CFLAGS, and somewhat generic USEFLAGS. |

FYI- I'm working on just such a project with my school's LUG. The idea is a Knoppix-style LiveCD installation process, plus another CD of precompiled binaries for popular software. The goal is a quickly installing, standardised, optimised, preconfigured Gentoo environment, aimed at desktop users. With full PPC and x86 support.
It's being developed internally at the moment, but we're shooting for a public release simultaneous with 2004.1. Midterms are slowing development at the moment. 
In the meantime, you might check out Jollix, a Gentoo-based LiveCD - http://www.jollix.de/en/en_home.html
User Friendly Gentoo is another similar project - http://ufgentoo.juzna.net
If we ever release there will certainly be an announcement.

What I was hoping for is a short cut to a fully working system.. (in reality the best I could hope for is a stage three with GRP packages, I understand that now..  )
These guys seem to be using it as a "backup" of their system.. *shrug* it would work I guess..

yeah, i just use it incase of a hard disk failure or if my system get's hosed some other way. I usually don't have the time to start over from a stage1 (or even a stage3) so I take a snapshot of a fully configured system and save it. |
